Muscle, eye, and respiratory research conducted on the International Space Station is helping keep crews healthy on long term space missions and informing treatments on Earth.
NASA Flight Engineer Nick Hague worked on an investigation to counteract space-induced muscle loss by stimulating his muscles using electrical signals.
NASA Flight Engineer Don Pettit assisted in conducting eye exams to study the effects of spaceflight on astronauts' eyes and explore potential treatments.
Other activities on the space station included space agriculture research, working on spacesuits, emergency training, and studying materials in the Electrostatic Levitation Furnace.
